[edit] CMS-Australia

CMS-Australia is committed to proclaiming the gospel and serving God's people around the world to see lives transformed by Christ.

CMS-Australia is an evangelical, voluntary, lay, church society.

• As a voluntary society, CMS-Australia is made up of enthusiasts for the gospel. They have joined together to form a society which is independent and does not report to any other organisation or denomination. Through its constitution, CMS-Australia is accountable to its members who elect a General Committee to oversee its affairs.

• As a lay society, CMS-Australia is not a church within a church. It is a facilitator enabling the church to send missionaries to serve God in other places. Right from the earliest days, the Society has been made up of laity and clergy on equal footing.

[edit] Anglican denomination

CMS-Australia is a church society in the sense that it was set up and continues to function in order to facilitate the church to obey the Great Commission. For most of its history, CMS-Australia has exercised this service to the Anglican denomination. However, recent years have seen greater mobility of people between denominations. Accordingly, we now aim to ensure that any member, who commences supporting the work of the gospel through CMS-Australia while participating in an Anglican congregation, can continue to do so with ease even if he or she moves to another denomination.

[edit] Evangelical Society

CMS-Australia is an evangelical society in that it was established by evangelicals. It continues as such by seeking members among evangelicals. They in turn seek to pursue a gospel-centred obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ and to express that obedience by doing all in their power to bring that gospel to those who 'do not know Christ and have not heard his name'.

[edit] Committment

We believe that if people are to support CMS-Australia by prayer and giving they need first to be committed to Christ and his mission. On that basis, we strive to help them in that commitment in the following ways:

• To be a genuine gospel agency,
• To send out people who are truly gospel people,
• To send them to valid gospel tasks, and
• To effectively communicate to them our needs for prayer and financial support.
